Well, there's no way to spin this post by Ron Filipkowski [View all]

on bluesky: "Everything we have stood around the world going back 80 years-collective security, honoring alliances, helping friends & allies, feeding the hungry, treating and curing diseases, humanitarian aid, the rule of law, broadcasting truthful news to people who can't get it-all gone."

Very discouraging to say the least. I wish we had a leader who could meet this scary moment and galvanize people to our side. And I don't care if this earns me a "hide" or worse. I am being diplomatic under the circumstances.
